Overview

Create a 2D figure, and bring it to life. With Character Animator CC you can lend your characters their own facial expressions. This makes their actions and reactions extremely realistic.

Start with a character.

Build your character from scratch in Illustrator or Photoshop — or start with one of the puppets already available in Character Animator.

Animations with legs — and arms and heads.

Getting your character to move doesn’t take a lot of work. Control gestures like waving with your keyboard or MIDI device. Movements can be saved as buttons, sliders, or knobs so they’re easy to remember. And you can smooth transitions between facial poses for a hand-animated look.

Put your best face forward.

Character Animator tracks your facial expressions in real time — from raised eyebrows to moving lips — and records your motion and voice using your webcam and microphone. So when you look surprised, happy, or angry, your character does too.

It’s show time.

Send your character out into the world. Go live on Facebook or TV. Amuse your friends on social media. Or send it to After Effects CC or Premiere Pro CC to include in bigger projects like a movie or cartoon.
